"Character is forged not on the mountaintop but in the valley”. — Mike MathenyUSS Valley Forge NCC-43305 is an Excelsior II-class Federation starship currently assigned to Fourth Fleet's Task Force 72. She is currently under the command of Captain Samantha Hyland.
An Excelsior II - class Heavy Cruiser, the USS Valley Forge was the third - last Excelsior spaceframe to undergo the refit and modernization process to upgrade this dependable Starfleet workhorse to be able to support the Diplomatic mission of Task Force 72 into the 25th Century and beyond. Nominally deployed to patrol and support duties along the former Cardassian Demilitarized Zone, the operations that the Valley Forge engages in may not be the most glamourous, but her missions are amongst the most vital in supporting the United Federation of Planets during the years that are proving to be some of the most challenging in its entire history.

Design & Layout
Bridge
Situated on Deck#1, the bridge of the USS Valley Forge conforms to the functional aesthetic of the 25th Century school of Starfleet design. Clean lines, dynamic lighting and gleaming metal deck plates focus attention to Holodisplays and more traditional LCARS. The CO is seated in the Command Chair on a raised dais, with the Engineering MSD behind and stations for Helm and Tactical immediately fore. To port are the Science stations and to Starboard the various Ops, Engineering and Comms stations. There is a holodisplay mounted in the plinth directly in front of the CO and 4 x additional Holodisplays mounted in the bridge rails serve the crew as configurable standing workstations. Access to the Captain's ready room (and the ship's dedication plaque) is fore & Starboard and the ships Conference rooms to fore & Port. Access to the turbolifts is aft of the bridge on either beam.
